Mmm D'Licious: Basil Scramble & a Must-have Kitchen Gadget


What are you eating for breakfast these days? We are in healthy-post-baby-pre-summer (but-not-pre-baby-weight-yet) mode in our house!  We are cutting out sugar [re: dessert] for a month to detox a little and kick our fitness routines up a notch! Here is our favorite new breakfast of choice {sorry Ebelskivers}. Enter my love affair with Basil. mmmm.

Basil Scramble with fresh fruit!

Ingredients:

-6 eggs scrambled {I go for just the egg whites if its just for me- the boys get the whole kit-n-kaboodle}
-basil- to taste [or lots and lots because its just that good]
-lite shredded cheese
-turkey diced- i use reduced sodium turkey from Trader Joe's
-chunky salsa- I use Trader Joe's Chunky Salsa to save time but fresh salsa would be divine!

Scramble all together and presto! Basil Scramble. Top with salsa and avocado! Serve with fresh fruit!

optional add-ins:
-bell pepper
-spinach
-avocado (on top)

There is no salt needed for this recipe...it's so tasty my two year old THANKS me for making these "yummy eggs mommy!" Success.

Psst! Want to know why my strawberries are perfectly hulled? no annoying digging with the knife necessary! I give you my new favorite kitchen gadget:


Chef’n Strawberry Huller from Williams Sonoma. I love this thing! Just pinch, twist and pull and voila! You can hull a hundred strawberries in no time! This is amazing if you're like me and hated cutting off so much of the top of your strawberry just to get rid of the leaves! It's also perfect for summer nights with Strawberry Shortcake for dessert...well sans the shortcake for a while! haha. Get one. You'll love it- I promise!
